Cruel Destiny

Chapter 36

Third Person POV

It was overcast weather but there was no rain. The black clouds had engulfed almost all the sky in his

clutch.

It was the day after the death of two angels. The snow had stopped falling after midnight and clouds

took over that.

They were now standing in a church for their funeral. Everyone was dressed in black just like the color

of the clouds.

The caskets had been brought and now they just had to be lower down in the ground. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Andrea Thomas was sitting on a bench and staring ahead. She wasn't giving attention to the priest who

had started the funeral speech.

She had lost the child whom she never met after delivering her. The child she yearned to meet when

she got to know she was alive.

She turned her gaze toward her daughter who was lying in a casket along with her granddaughter.

She was looking so beautiful. She was not looking dead. It seemed like she was sleeping peacefully.

She never hated anyone like her parents who were the reason behind her daughter's misery.

Had she known that this would happen with her daughter, she would have aborted her.

Her child had been starving for a few days and here she was eating her meal.

How could she sleep in nights when her daughter had been working all day?

She was the worst mother in this entire world. No mother should watch her child's death before her.

Had she started her search for her ignoring her parent's lies, her daughter would have been alive.

But now it was too late. She could just hope that her daughter and granddaughter will be at peace in

heaven.

Her husband squeezed her shoulders gently. He couldn't do anything other than comforting her.

He had heard a lot about Natasha in their 19 years of marriage. He had tried to find her too but his

wife's parents had her well hidden.

Tears fell from Andrea's eyes and she closed them and whispered "Rest in peace, my angels."

.

.

.

A person was sitting inside the church with red eyes whose tears had not stopped.

His gaze was on the angels who were lying inside the coffin. He was none other than Liam.

He was wearing a black suit with no tie. His hair was messy. His eyes were reflecting on what he was

feeling inside. Dead.

He just wanted to go back in time and begged for Natasha's forgiveness.

If he had done that, they wouldn't be dead. He just had to man up and accepted his responsibility.

He was silent throughout the whole ordeal. He didn't say anything when Adam asked him to confess

what he wanted.

He had nothing to say to anyone. He had done anything but good with her.

.

.

.

The casket had been brought to the cemetery to get them buried.

Scott was mourning the loss of his second love. He had watched his pregnant wife getting buried.

That time he was devastated but this time he was dead from inside.

It didn't matter to him that she had refused his love. His love for her didn't falter.

In that case, he had hoped that she would come back to him anytime she wanted.

He would have waited forever for her. But now she was dead and will never come back to him.

He had not been lying when he said that he was ready to accept Scarlett.

When he first started to love her, he knew that she was pregnant with someone's child.

From that day, he had started dreaming about their little family where he would give her the love she

deserves.

Along with her, he would love little Scarlet and would try to become the best dad for her.

But now it was just a dream for him. A dream which will never come true.

He wiped the tears which had fallen from his eyes and whispered "Rest in peace, my loves."

.

.

.

Now it was time to bury them inside the grave. Scott came forward toward the coffin, making everyone

confused.

Natasha's family didn't know about their friendship or that Scott has feelings for her.

Scott knelt and grabbed Natasha's cold hand. Her hand was soft and beautiful just like her.

A couple of tears fell from his eyes when the hand, which he has been clasping, never moved.

He kissed the back of her hand and mumbled "Rest Natasha. Now no one will trouble you. I love you.

Always have, always will."

He then clutched the little hand of Scarlett and kissed it gently as he did with Natasha.

"No need to be afraid, little Scarlett. Your Mumma is with you. Sleep sweety."

He then pulled away even though he wanted to stay with them. He didn't want them to leave him.

No one said anything even though all was confused about his relationship with her.

It was then Liam decided that he had to do it. He had to say goodbye to his daughter and his love.

He sat down on his knees and grabbed Natasha's hand just like Scott did.

It took every ounce of power for Scott to control himself from pulling his hand away from her.

But he didn't want to create any scene at her funeral. It was supposed to give her peace.

"I am so sorry, Natasha. Please forgive me. I had given you nothing but problems. I was supposed to

take care of you and look at what I did. Please forgive me. I love you."

He was crying through his speech. He doesn't want to believe that she is dead.

He had never cared about her when she was alive and here he was crying at his funeral.

He left her hand and caressed her cheek. He leaned down to kiss her lips one last time.

He then turned to say goodbye to his kid. His flesh. His blood. Which he never had accepted till her

death.

"You were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen after your mother. I am sorry, baby, that I couldn't be

the father you deserve. Forgive me, Scarlett. I love you."

Just as he was about to touch her cheek, he heard the most dangerous voice he had ever heard.

"Don't you dare touch her"

He froze and pulled back his hand and turned back to face the terrifying woman who was on a mission.

The mission to kill him.

.

.

.

Kelly took a step forward with a cold face. There was no emotion on her face.

She had cried enough and promised herself that she won't cry anymore.

She wanted to destroy the man who was standing in front of her. How dare he try to touch her Scarlett?

She took another threatening step and stood in front of him. She looked at his face which was filled

with tears.

She scoffed loudly and without warning punched him hard. He stumbled but that didn't subsidize her

anger.

She slapped him this time and didn't stop until Adam pulled her back.

"Leave me. I'll kill that bastard. You are dead, Liam Knights." She screamed and wriggled in Adam's

arm.

"Stop, Kelly. Why are you hitting him?" Adam asked her in confusion

She turned to face him and stared into his blue eyes with surprise. He was just like the last time she

had seen him.

But now it was not the time to focus on him. It was about her best friend who was lying there in the

casket with her daughter.

She removed his hands from her and moved toward Liam who was wiping the blood from his lips.

His cheeks had turned red due to the force of her slap. For a woman who was supposed to have some

hands, she sure hit like a man.

She again looked at Adam and she knew that moment that he knew nothing about his best friend's

deed.

Her lips curled into a cold smirk and she smiled. An evil smile was adoring her lips making her look

dangerous.

"Adam doesn't know about your deed, Liam. Does he?" She laughed loudly

"Want me to tell him. Adam, do you know the relationship between Liam and Natasha?" She asked him

The last thing she wanted to do was create a scene at her best friend's funeral.

But all her thoughts went onto the ground when she saw him here. He doesn't deserve anywhere to be

here.

He had killed her best friend. And now he wanted to do drama to save himself.

"I will tell you. He had trapped her in the game of love for sex. And when get what he wanted, he left

her in the middle of the forest."

The people who were whispering from the time Kelly arrived, stopped when they heard her confession.

Natasha's family was shocked to know about their son's best friend's reality.

They knew Liam since Adam befriended him. They were best of friends.

When Adam informs them, Liam is the father of Natasha's child. They were shocked and were sad for

him.

But now it seems like everything was a facade. They never knew him.

"He never called her after that. When she went to tell him that she was pregnant then he called her a

whore and a bastard child."

"He even called their child a bastard. He threw a cheque on her face for her payment that night."

She laughed without any emotions in her voice. Every emotion inside her died when she got to know

from Scott that Natasha is dead.

Her best friend left her alone. She had cried and just cried until she passed out.

Now it was time for Liam to get his punishment. He was living his life in peace while her best friend had

been fighting to survive.

"No, he didn't just stop there. He got her raped just because she reported him to the cop who was

nothing but a pig."

"He snatched everything from her. He snatched her job, her house and in the end, he snatched her life.

He killed her. He had ordered his men to kill her."

This time she couldn't control the tears of grief and devastation which she desperately wanted to.

She grabbed the collar of his shirt and shook him and shouted "Why did you come into her life? She

was living before you entered her life."

"After meeting you, her tears never stopped. She never smiled. You ruined her. You made her destiny

cruel."

She pushed him and yelled "I hate you, Liam. I hate you more than I hate Adam. You ruined everything

you touch."

She wiped her tears which never stopped falling and said "I pray to god that he won't kill you easily.

You will see hell on this earth. Mark my words."

She pushed him aside and leaned toward Natasha's body and kissed her head and whispered "You are

free, Naty. I love you, sweety. See you soon."

She kissed Scarlett's cheek and said "My baby girl. Sleep peacefully. You are not alone."

She cried hard but continued "My baby would be there with you. Take care of her too, Scar. You are her

big sister."

She covered her mouth to control her sobs which weren't stopping. Scott came forward and put her

hand on her shoulder in a comforting way.

She stood straight and he hugged her. She cried her heart out. She wanted it to be a dream.

She wanted Natasha to be alive but it was god's wish. And she couldn't do anything about it.

In a way, she was happy because now her friend was free from the cruelty this world had shown her.

The casket had been closed and lowered in the ground. They all prayed for her and threw the dust on

the casket.

Andrea fainted when she saw her daughter's casket getting eased to the ground.

Her husband took her inside knowing that she couldn't bear watching it.

Now it was done. Everything was over. They had buried her and now all went back to the church.

The only person who remained there were Scott, Kelly, Liam, and a very angry Adam.

He was burning in anger since the time he got to know what Liam had done with his sister.

He just controlled it so that there would be no disturbance at her funeral.

He raged toward Liam who was staring at his sister's grave. He punched him hard making him fall to

the ground.

He knelt and beat him up, let out all his anger and frustration on him.

"Stop Adam. You will kill him. He doesn't deserve death. He should taste the slap of Karma. Leave

him." Kelly said with a cold voice.

Adam stooped when he heard her voice. Her voice has a different effect on her. Always had and

always will.

"You are no longer my friend, Liam. I.." He stopped and wiped the salty tears from the back of his hand.

Then he took a deep breath and continued "You made her life hell. You will regret it."

Linda was standing outside the cemetery as her mother warned her not to go inside.

She was upset to hear about the death of the person who was so sweet.

There was an unknown fear which was engulfing her. She took a deep breath.

Something in her gut was telling her that something bad was going to happen. Something which she

couldn't control.

She placed her hand on her stomach and waited for Liam to come back.

But when he didn't, she entered the cemetery ignoring all the warning signs.

She wandered a little and found him crying in front of Natasha's grave.

His lip was split open and blood was oozing out of it. He had a black eye and his cheeks were going to

bruise.

She sighed and went toward him. He was sobbing and asking for forgiveness from Natasha.

"Liam," she said and touched his cheek gently.

He turned toward her and hugged her legs and mumbled "She will never forgive me."

"Don't cry, Liam. You are injured right now. Come on let's go home." She said.

She was in desperate need to be out of here. Something was not right. She has to go home, that's

what her gut feeling has been telling.

She followed it and took Liam toward the car. She was about to sit at the driver's seat when he stopped

her.

"I am driving." He rasped and sat without waiting for her answer.

She pressed her lips together and sat on the passenger seat without saying anything.

Liam started the engine and drove the car toward their home.

His mind was not on the road. He could see the dead body of his love and their daughter.

He didn't cry that much when he received the news of Miranda's and their child's death.

He wiped the tears away. Linda saw this and said "Liam please let me drive. You are not focused."

He looked at her and said "You are pregnant. You shouldn't drive. It will harm our baby."

Her breath stuck in her throat. This was the first time she had heard him saying 'Our baby'

She wanted to smile and thanked god that he had accepted their baby but her trance was broken by

the sound of a horn.

Her face turned into horror when she saw an SUV coming toward them.

She shouted "Liam watch out"

But alas she was late. The SUV came at a high speed and bumped into them.
